upon_o we_o we_o see_v a_o zealous_a popish_a prince_n and_o popish_a bishop_n and_o such_o bold_a step_n make_v to_o set_v up_o popery_n as_o make_v we_o all_o tremble_v righteous_a be_v thou_o o_o

in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o wise_a and_o good_a prince_n and_o then_o the_o more_o the_o power_n be_v the_o strong_a and_o more_o flourish_a must_v the_o government_n and_o nation_n be_v but_o too_o little_a power_n can_v never_o govern_v well_o when_o the_o government_n be_v so_o weak_a that_o it_o can_v neither_o defend_v itself_o nor_o its_o subject_n and_o therefore_o the_o just_a right_n and_o prerogative_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o the_o necessary_a power_n and_o authority_n for_o government_n aught_o to_o be_v as_o dear_a to_o subject_n as_o their_o own_o right_n and_o liberty_n be_v it_o be_v certain_a power_n will_v be_v somewhere_o if_o the_o prince_n lose_v it_o the_o people_n will_v get_v it_o and_o when_o once_o the_o people_n gain_v such_o a_o power_n as_o to_o top_v their_o prince_n there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o monarchy_n as_o absolute_a power_n change_v the_o constitution_n of_o a_o legal_a and_o limit_a monarchy_n into_o a_o arbitrary_a government_n so_o a_o
